Really frustrating to read articles like this having been through 2 years of making remote working super productive.
I think some people just have an aversion to making it work, or a power trip, or need for bums on seats.
For example, our team amazingly left our business in a much stronger position "post"-pandemic than pre-pandemic. But as soon as there was the chance, our boss pulled us all back in.
Given the sacrifices made, 80% of the core team that achieved these results were gone within 3 months, and the last 20% will be gone by the next 2 months, including me.
I really believe in remote, however I/we weren't even asking for that. Just the flexibility and trust to choose what worked best at any given time. Sometimes that meant hooking up and meeting in person; or, for focused work, staying at home using all the commute energy on a great piece of work, then having dinner with your spouse.
Articles like this are a joke. Yes, I'm very frustrated about it as these kind of views directly led to the break-up of our great team, and has left me looking for another job.
